Old Kobo is dead, need a replacement.

So, recently I have broken my Kobo aura screen (still don't know how but the device isn't working so...) and I need a new one. My budget is 200€ more or less.
I always used Kobo devices, but i broke two of them in 5 years so I would prefer to have something more resistant. I don't like Amazon restriction on kindle and I have some books purchased on the Kobo store that i still have to read, so i would prefer to not have that kind of restriction.
I also have eyes issues and I need large fonts. I was satisfied with the Kobo ones (I was going with only e-books when it broke because my sight is quite bad) but I want to upgrade.
I travel a lot so I need a device that is quite resistant.
Also next year i'm starting university and I will purchase only e-books so i need something that actually can read well textbooks, pdfs and notes. Even if I am going to spend something more than my budget, but i don't really have a lot of money. I live in Italy and buying outside of EU is expensive because I would have to pay custom taxes and vat and on a purchase of 200€ these are quite high.
